and events coming up soon!
In September 2007 a group
of local residents came together to form a
management group for the proposed Community Centre and the Angmering
Community Centre Association was established in February 2008 when the
Constitution was adopted. Charitable Status followed in July 2008. The
Centre was built by and is owned by Angmering Parish Council, and is
being leased to the Association.
As a Charity, our
objectives are:
- To
promote the benefit of the inhabitants…to advance education and to
provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation
and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions
of life for the said inhabitants.
- To
establish or secure the establishment of a Community Centre and to
maintain and manage the same in furtherance of the above objective.
The
building was handed over to the Association on Wednesday 29 September
2009 and the first activities at the Centre commenced on 3 October.
The
Centre serves the whole of Angmering and surrounding area and is a
multi-purpose venue with a Main Hall, two Meeting Rooms, Kitchen and
Central Display and Refreshment Area. It is our aim to provide the
facilities and equipment to open up new educational and recreational
opportunities for community groups and individuals wishing to use the
Centre.
A manager on site during
part of the day plus volunteers will allow the Centre to be used by
residents other than hirers to drop in for a tea or coffee, make use of
IT facilities (when in place) and access an information centre. The
volunteers will be recruited to assist the manager and allow longer
access to the facilities. We want to encourage local artists and
schools to put up displays in the central area. Kitchen facilities will
make a lunch club a possibility if required.
See our Activities page for
a list of those planning to provide clubs and services.
